I'm Jenn Colby. For over 25 years I've worked professionally in agriculture and customer service.⁣
For 22 years I've been a farmer myself, raising all types of livestock. I'm also collecting useful resources to help new (and existing) farmers and ranchers find greater success and higher quality of life. I deliver resources to help you heal agriculture's relationship with success and expand the community of healthy, whole, profitable farming/ranching operations.

Hosting farmstays has really helped even-out my farm business cash flow and increase profitability.

You might be asking:
**How much time will hosting people take?
**How much will it cost to host guests?
**What are guests going to expect from me?
**How quickly will I start making money?
**Do I even want to do this?

This course is designed to help you answer these questions and either decide hosting is for you (and set you up to be great at it, right out of the gate!) or avoid spending time and money on something that's just not a good fit for you.

Created for busy farmers and ranchers, and people testing whether to dive in.

Check out the link in my bio to learn more about the next cohort starting October 2!

Have you been thinking about adding overnight stay

Have you been thinking about adding overnight stays to your farm or ranch business? ⁣
Here’s a way to help you get a jump start without reinventing the wheel!

Participants in this course come in with lots of questions. Often they are just trying to figure out if this agritourism idea they've heard about is a good fit for them.

•We've had ranchers in Texas wondering about hosting guests at a remote site.
•Regenerative farmers in Pennsylvania welcoming guests into a converted milkhouse.
•Horse enthusiasts in Tennessee using their knowledge to offer specialized stays for traveling equestrians.
•Cattle ranchers in Montana housing bird hunters (with dogs).
•Diversified farmers in New York with tent platforms in the woods by a quiet stream.
The most important thing?

Sharing the questions and experiences of these varied crew across the country, with all kinds of ideas, questions and situations.

You can add a steady stream of income to your farm or ranch that does not depend on adequate rain, solid commodity markets, or tons of money.

On-farm (or ranch) overnight stays take a little work to set up well, but once they are running, can help ease the challenges of seasonal paychecks and year-round expenses. Hosting farmstays has really helped my farm business, and I'm excited for it to help your business, too.

I love the Tunbridge World’s Fair. It has alway

I love the Tunbridge World’s Fair.

It has always been MY fair. I’ve talked to people from all over the country and when I mention I’m from Vermont, more people have heard of the “World’s Fair” than you might imagine. It connects us.

When I was a kid, it was about games and rides and fried dough.

When I was older, it became about entering contests and being part of the culture.

Now I think it’s about love and community.

Walking around yesterday, I got to thinking about how such an icon becomes a part of our lives. The kids who start coming in strollers, become little ride monsters, visit on school trips, bring college boyfriends/girlfriends back, and eventually push strollers of their own. I was thinking about the folks who “hold court” out in the parking lot on Senior Day, and the friends who drive down from Burlington and Fayston and East Montpelier, because this event is THE fair to attend.

I got to thinking about all of the local people who set aside weeks or months of their time to manage animal events or judge crafts, baked goods, and vegetables. I thought about the families using the fair as a reunion and the people we only see once a year.

It’s fun to keep the old traditions, like Belgian Acres apple crisp and it’s fun to see new trends like tater tots and bubble tea. I was grateful that there was very little political grandstanding.

I love to see the faces of the Fair changing. I’m pretty sure that I saw more folks of color, non-binary, and same-sex couples than I’ve seen before. Our fair food has become more multi-cultural too. If the Fair serves as a true cross-section of our rural community, it is alive and well and vibrant.

I think there’s a lot to learn from an event that’s 151 years old and still hopping with life. We can blend many perspectives together. We can love both the old and the new. We can buy the fried dough and the falafel. And everybody loves the tractor pull.

Did not win the swine agility this year—that honor went to my friend Julie Caterino, who was back at HER Fair after four years of being away. Well deserved, and welcome back! ❤️

Defending my title today at 2 pm. Got nervous during the qualifier—pigs know!

Taking a few moments to meditate before the finals and get my pig zen back. 🤣🤣

There has been a bunch of travel lately, along wit

There has been a bunch of travel lately, along with lamb weaning and keeping chores simple, so the moms have been penned up with hay for the past few weeks.

It’s time to get back out there…we’ve got a lot of recovered pasture to graze!

I love that we don’t breed until 1/1. Sure makes long slow weight gain during the fall feel good.

I’ve been attending Grassfed Exchange this week

I’ve been attending Grassfed Exchange this week with an eye and ear to future podcast guests. I picked out three terrific ones just today.

If you know any first- or returning- generation livestock farmers or ranchers anywhere in the US (or the world) with a story, I’d love to talk with them.

Tell us your stories! ❤️
